Daily Cleaning Routine (2 Minutes)
Wipe the hearing aid: Use a soft, dry cloth or tissue to wipe the entire device. Remove sweat, oils, and debris.
Clean the dome/tip: Gently wipe the dome or ear mold tip. This is where earwax accumulates most.
Check the microphone port: Use the brush from your cleaning kit to gently clear the microphone opening.
Place in drying kit: Before sleeping, place hearing aids in a drying kit or dehumidifier to remove accumulated moisture.
Weekly Maintenance
Inspect tubing (BTE) for moisture, discoloration, or cracks
Check domes for wear or damage — replace if needed
Clean battery contacts with a dry cotton swab
Inspect the hearing aid body for any cracks or damage
Monthly Tasks
Replace wax guards — the single most important maintenance task
Replace domes if showing wear
Check overall condition of tubing, wire, and casing
What NOT to Do
Never use water, soap, alcohol, or chemicals on hearing aids
Never use a hair dryer or oven to dry hearing aids
Never use sharp objects to clean ports or openings
Never leave hearing aids in direct sunlight or extreme heat
Never spray hairspray, perfume, or insect repellent while wearing hearing aids

Why Professional Service Matters
Correct calibration: Improperly programmed hearing aids can cause discomfort, feedback, or inadequate amplification. Professional programming ensures optimal settings.
Genuine parts: We use only manufacturer-approved replacement parts. Non-genuine parts can damage your hearing aid and void warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I wash my hearing aid?
No. Hearing aids are electronic devices — water damages them. Use only a dry cloth and the provided cleaning tools.
Q2: How often should I replace wax guards?
Monthly, or sooner if you notice reduced sound quality. Wax guards are the most important consumable.
